basically, their story is this: the girls grew up really close, as neither one knew that ellie was adopted. they both believed they were just normal little girls, until ellie was nine and older sister got her letter from hogwarts. big sister went off and both girls remained super close, with big sister writing to ellie every week to describe hogwarts life. she would, in particular, include details about slytherin and what the girls would do once ellie got her letter. ellie became increasingly excited, since she was obviously magical too if her sister got a letter. but thats when her family dropped the bombshell on the girls, just before ellie's eleventh birthday- she was adopted, and so it was unlikely that she was going to get a letter. ellie was a little crushed, but i imagined that big sister would've treated her just the same, and tried to make her feel more part of the family.
despite the obvious kindness and love she showed towards elena as they were children, it was no coincidence that big sister was sorted into slytherin. deep down, she's a nasty piece of work. she relished in the attention she got as the better looking child of the two, and she would constantly (and discretely) remind ellie that she was the better looking. she would exploit others, manipulate them into getting her way, and is really what one would expect of a slytherin. when she got sorted, she would have fit right in. except for one thing: she was muggleborn. and one of the reasons she was so excited about elena coming to hogwarts was because she expected her sister to get into slytherin too. then they could be muggleborn together.
as it turned out, though, ellie was to get her letter and be sent to hogwarts. both girls expected the sorting hat to yell out slytherin, but instead, ellie was put into gryffindor. and not only was she put into gryffindor, but it was announced she was a pureblood - something her sister had wanted for the last two years. after that, the girls relationship soured remarkably. older sister took every chance she could to belittle the then awkward elena in front of the slytherin, and she would rarely talk to her at school. at home, it was probably different, but not by much. things would've got more difficult as elena reached her seventh year as well, as she blossomed looks wise, which meant that the last thing older sister was holding too in terms of belittling her sister was gone.
now i can see their relationship being much the same. older sister being bitter and angry, and ellie still not realising what she did wrong. i would like them to repair their relationship at some stage, but maybe the sister could stir up drama first? there's plenty of opportunities for her too, but yeah. we can plot that out later, or come up with something epic. but please take her, and i'll love you forever <33

so i don't have a huge epic plot for them like the one above. i just want ellie to have a close friend outside the victoria secrets girls. i think they would've met in her first year, in the first few weeks when she was feeling a little awkward and confused because her sister just ditched her and what not. maybe he was just really nice to her and they hit it off, or they have some tragic thing in common, whether its being abandoned by their parents, sibling issues, or any of the other things mentioned in her app (link below). but yeah, i want them to bond and become biffles and be all yay and friendsy and stuff.
annnnnnywho, elena's now involved with professor sawyer rowle, who teaches defence against the dark arts at the university. i can imagine that boy would be one of the few people that she would've told about it, and even then she would've sworn him to absolute secrecy. like, unbreakable vow secrecy, just about. but i can imagine that boy is not happy about this at all. knowing ellie well enough, he can see that she is falling for him, but he probably can't help but notice the way sawyer would look at other girls (at least at the beginning). i think he'd be trying to convince ellie to stay away from sawyer and to save herself from the heartbreak that he thinks is inevitable. i can also see him getting really up in sawyer's grill about it, but yeah. why he gets so intense about it is over to you completely. from what i can tell sawyer and ellie are going to get pretty serious and he's going to fall for her too, so if boy is crushing on ellie it won't be reciprocated. but yeah, if you take him, i'll love you forever! besides, its sam way! who can say no to him??
